scenes from a DIY kitchen remodel

christmas recap and pics coming soon. - the babies are having an extended christmas vacation at grandma's house while jeremy and i tackle some of the bigger house projects we have to do, namely the kitchen update and the cellar organization. - here is a pictorial journey of the kitchen so far: -

the cabinets before, with the doors removed

the cabinets, after sanding

the cabinets, getting primed

the faux brick back splash getting primed primer, primer everywhere

the back splash, fully primed

finished primer coat

a different perspective

the first coat of cabinet paint, it's somewhat hard to tell from the pics but it is a subtle khaki green

contrast between paint and primer

contrast of primer and paint on doors

-

still lots more to do... finish a couple of coats of paint on the cabinets. put a couple of coats of off white paint on the back splash. poly the whole kit and kaboodle. clean the old hinges. spray paint the old hinges a nickel color. then reassemble. and finally add nice new nickel knobs. whew.
